Punk 101: with Zero Punctuation & No More Heroes

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

Unlike just about every other videogame blog out there, I have no dedication to quantity. The sweatshop like slave driving of the blogosphere is something that I personally detest, as often times useless or otherwise inconsequential “news” gets posted just for the sake of fulfilling your quota. That’s why I’ve resigned myself to the N64 […]

Lost Winds in glorious motion

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Like a gentle spring wind softly caressing your tufts of down-like hair, Lost Winds enters a space so sorely lacking, so arid dry, that despite revealing very little of the actual gameplay, its very presence captivates and entices you, leaving you wanting and wide-eyed like a child showing flimsy restraint before a Christmas tree.
Hrm, anyway, […]

ZOMG 04/01/08: Blizzard reveals stuff

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Look, I don’t care about World of Warcraft. It’s a waste of time and money and clearly far below my standards for gaming. However, I do care about Guitar Hero, the defining gaming experience of our generation. But now that Blizzard has announced a new Hero Class for its colossal failure of a videogame, maybe […]

ZOMG 04/01/08: Zelda Movie Announced

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Oh wow, this is amazing! Nintendo’s return to the big screen has finally come and it is a whopper! The Legend of Zelda: The Movie may still be a full year away, but boy if this debut trailer doesn’t get me excited!
Seeing Link go toe to toe with Ganondorf is just so, just so… epic! […]

Tetroid 2012: how all Tetris will be played in the future

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Despite the best efforts of highly paid futurists, most depictions of the future are often completely off base. For example, did you know that Back to the Future Part II takes place in 2015? That means we have only 7 more years to do the following: invent hoverboards and hovercars, manufacture self tying shoe laces […]

WiiWare Launch: everything else

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

While not to intentionally impose any sort of qualitative judgment on the remaining crop of titles available during WiiWare’s Japanese launch, here are the games that, at the very most, don’t really “do it” for me. These could very well “do you” very well; I’m not saying that these are “bad” games.
However, I have segregated […]

WiiWare Launch: Saku Saku Animal Panic

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Lost amongst the shuffle of higher profile WiiWare releases is Saku Saku Animal Panic, a game by independent American developer Epicenter Studios. Published by Konami, Animal Panic is a 3D take on the classic game Qix. Where in Qix you play as a line of pure energy sectioning off large portions of a playing field, […]

WiiWare Launch: Star Soldier R jumps on the Caravan

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

One of the very first games announced for WiiWare was Hudson’s Star Solider R, an offshoot entry to their popular Star Solider/Blazing Lazers series. How is this Star Solider different than its brethren? Well, this version doesn’t really have a traditional single player mode. Star Solider R is basically the extra “Caravan” mode found in […]

WiiWare Launch: FFCC:MLAAK startling revelations

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King has the distinction of being one of the most impressive looking offerings available for WiiWare’s launch. Another distinction the game has is that it’s the most high profile game taking advantage of Nintendo’s pay-to-play, red wifi label initiative for paid downloadable content. This is all the […]
